I’d been sitting in my seat for so long that I was sore when I stood up. I stretched myself out and sighed in relief.
I hadn’t even moved from the table when I saw Henry Alvarez headed right at me. He waddled forward with Faye right next to him.
“Mr. Jacobson,” he greeted me. “It appears you’ve finished in the money.”
“In the money,” I said. “But I’m not finished yet.”
“It must be quite satisfying for you to get this far on your own merits.”
“I know how to play. Sometimes I need a little help to get an edge over strong players.”
“Flattery will get you nowhere, Jacobson. My sudden bout of kindness was brought upon by my assistant. She’s the one you should be flattering.”
Faye smiled softly, her cheeks blushing slightly with embarrassment, probably because she already knew how I felt about her.
“The tournament will continue over the weekend,” he explained. “If you make it that far.”
“I intend on it,” I said.
“Good. That’s something I’d actually like to speak to you about. Faye, schedule a meeting with Jacobson. Sometime tomorrow. Early.”
“I’ll do that, sir,” Faye responded.
“And just to show that there are no hard feelings,” Alvarez continued. “I’ll allow you access to one of my private rooms in the VIP lounge.”
“Is that right?” I said, an eyebrow raised. “That’s generous of you.”
Alvarez leaned forward and whispered to make sure that nobody else could hear even though it was so loud in the casino.
“I intend on having my generosity rewarded.”
He narrowed his eyes at me like he was trying to make some point. I guess when you were one of the big shots at this casino, you could try to intimidate everybody. That shit never worked on me but Alvarez was giving it a good try.
“Come along, Faye,” he said as he walked away. “There are some things I need to discuss with you briefly.”
“Yes, sir,” she said. “I just need to get something squared away with Jacobson considering the access you’ve given him to the VIP room.”
“Make it quick.”
Alvarez waddled away. Faye let out a sigh of relief and smiled at me.
“You did it,” she said. “You’ve got enough money to pay off Takahashi and pay back the loan to the Devils.”
“I did. I… I couldn’t have done it without you. I owe you everything, Faye.”
She put her head down to hide the embarrassment on her face. I put a hand on her chin, forcing her to look back up at me.
“I owe you everything,” I said again.
“You don’t owe me anything. I’m only doing what I would do for a friend. You would do the same for me.”
“I would do all that and more. You know I would.”
“Listen… I’ve got some errands I have to finish up for Alvarez.”
“You don’t have to explain that to me.”
“Maybe… tonight… We can spend some time together?”
“Well, Alvarez did give me access to a VIP room.”
“Yeah, that should be fun. But he wouldn’t give you that without getting something in return.”
“That goes without saying,” I said. “Now’s not the time to worry about that though. It… It almost feels like it’s time to celebrate. I’ll see you tonight.”
“Definitely.”
I leaned forward and kissed her on the lips. She laughed when I tried to shove my tongue into her mouth.
“Tonight,” she said as she pulled away.
I took her hand and tried to stop her from leaving but she eventually left to do what she had to do.
I sighed as I watched her disappear into the casino. I couldn’t wait to see her again tonight.
Chapter 18
FAYE
I could never get away from Alvarez fast enough. I couldn’t stand his boorish attitude. I couldn’t stand the slothful way he ate. I couldn’t stand all of the underhanded deals he was undoubtedly a part of. I couldn’t even stand the way he looked. Every single time I was with him, I was counting the seconds until he no longer needed me to run his errands.
I took all of it though. Alice was the only motivation I needed to do everything I could. She was the reason I would do whatever Alvarez asked of me.
Tonight was different though. It wasn’t just Alice that made me smile. It was the promise of seeing Hunter later that evening. Having someone else in my life, even if I didn’t know what the future held for him, was enough to make me forget about the road ahead. All I cared about was forgetting about my troubles.
Hunter finishing in the money meant that tonight was special. And with Alvarez graciously allowing him to use one of the rooms in the VIP lounge, Hunter had every reason to celebrate.
I figured I would do something special for him.
A few texts and calls from Hunter increased the anticipation I had of seeing him again. I told him that I had a surprise for him, which only made him more curious. The thought of Hunter on the edge of his seat made the butterflies in my stomach flutter so much that it tickled.
I picked out a black dress for the evening. A small piece that was appropriate. It had to be, considering it was the only black dress I had.
I headed into the VIP lounge where all of the high-rollers of the casino were drinking, gambling and chatting the night away. Alvarez had a set of rooms off to the side. Only one of them was occupied, so I knew exactly where to find Hunter.
I pulled the curtain aside and stepped into the small room. There wasn’t much inside of it. Just a couch and a small table where everybody set their drinks. The red lights were dim. The music was soft.
And at the center of the room, Hunter was there.
He sat nonchalantly in his seat, leaning back with his arms spread. Torn blue jeans. Leather jacket. Hair long at the sides of his face. He was the Hunter I always knew when we were teenagers. But he was a man now.
He looked me up and down, an eyebrow arched at me.
“What’s with the dress?” he asked.
I laughed at his response and shrugged. I slowly inched toward him and took a seat down next to him.
“I figure it’s a bit of a special occasion,” I said. “You’ve made your money and you won’t have to worry about any gangsters threatening to kill you.”
“That’s true. But I still don’t see the point of the dress. I’ve never seen you dress like that before.”
“Oh, I’ve dressed like this before. At the high school dances. Then again, you never paid much attention.”
“Maybe I should have.”
I leaned in close and gave him a kiss. I could smell the smoke on him. A rugged, intoxicating scent I’d never experienced before.
Before our kiss could get any deeper, the curtain moved and one of the lounge employees stepped inside.
“Champagne,” he said as he bowed his head. “Courtesy of Mr. Alvarez.”
“He seems to be buttering me up quite a bit,” Hunter said.
Hunter gave the man a nod. He popped open the champagne and poured two glasses for us.
“Please,” the man said. “Let me know if there’s anything else you need.”
He pulled the curtain aside and stepped back out, leaving me alone again with Hunter.
Hunter didn’t wait in picking up his glass of champagne. I watched the satisfaction form on his face after he took a big gulp of it.
“Nice,” he sighed. “A lot better than what they’ve got at Hades.”
“I’ve been in these rooms a lot of times before,” I said. “Alvarez would always ask me to bring two girls to him so he could have some fun. I never really had much fun. I never got to experience it for myself.”
I picked a glass up and examined it for a second. I couldn’t help but think about how fortunate I was to be with the man next to me.
“It’s nice,” I said.
I sipped the bubbly champagne and felt a wave of relief wash
over me. Hunter stared at me. With the dim, red-lighting of the room, I could still see how intense his face was. It was like the light cast a shadow on all the chiseled features of his face. A face I’d been looking at all my life but only just now realized how handsome it was.
“I’m happy for you,” I said. “I’m glad you got out of this.”
“I couldn’t have done this without you, Faye. You’re the reason I’m here now.”
“I’m the reason you got in trouble in the first place. If I didn’t tell Alvarez, you would’ve gotten away with it.”
“You did what you had to do. You deserve credit for all of this.”
I took another gulp of champagne and put my glass down. I looked away from Hunter but could still feel his eyes on me.
“What is it about Alvarez?” he asked. “Why are you working for a man like him?”
I can’t…
I didn’t want to tell him. Even if Hunter and I were close, it wasn’t his problem.
I swallowed as if it would keep everything from spilling out.
“He pays me well,” I said as I looked back at Hunter. “Isn’t that all that matters? The money is what matters, right?”
“I made my life in the city gambling and hustling on the streets. There was always some scheme or game to try to make another buck. I know better than anybody how important money is.”
“Then you understand.”
“I understand that you were never about the money. After the accident and you lost your parents, I remember how driven you were. I know it wasn’t because of the money—”
I leaned forward and shut him up with a kiss. My tongue shoved into his mouth and he didn’t resist.
I put a hand on his cheek and smiled softly at him.
“Let’s not talk about that right now,” I whispered, my lips near his.
I stared right into his eyes and saw any conversation we might have been having leave his thoughts. Whatever was on the tip of his tongue was gone. The only thing I wanted on his tongue was mine.
I gave him another deep kiss. The feelings in my stomach swirled. A sudden heat that spread through my core and pulsed through my veins like fire. Hunter sighed a deep breath and the ecstasy burned even hotter inside of me.
He kissed my cheek. The heat of his breath against my skin sent a shudder through my spine. He nibbled softly on my ear then whispered into it.
“I want you… I want you so bad, Faye…”
I leaned into him, taking in a deep inhale of his masculine scent. Hunter’s entire being consumed me and made my mind go blank.
I moved my mouth close to his ear and whispered back to him.
“I’m not wearing any panties…”
I’d planned for it. And I knew it because of how wet I felt between my legs. With no fabric to stop me from dripping, there was likely a stain on my dress.
“Faye… You were never the type to do something like that.”
I bit my lip to stop myself from grinning.
“It’s because of you,” I whispered. “You make me do things I wouldn’t even think of doing.”
“Is that right?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“And what are you thinking of right now?”
“I’m thinking of something. Do you want me to tell you?”
“I want you to show me.”
Hunter stared right at me. His strong jaw clenched, he kept his eyes locked on me and hypnotized me to the point that I would’ve done it even if I didn’t want to.
I kept my eyes on him just the same as I reached out with my hands. I peeled his leather jacket open and put a hand on his shirt. His hard abs contracted with a deep breath. The muscles of his six-pack were wonderful against my palm even with the fabric of his shirt blocking me. I trailed my fingers underneath his shirt so I could feel just how hard his muscles were.
That was only just the beginning. His amazing abs were only an appetizer to what else I knew he was hiding. I trailed my hand down and dug them into his jeans. His smooth hilt against my hand, Hunter shifted in his seat slightly.
“What do we have here?” I whispered.
“Why don’t you open it and find out?”
I undid his belt. The metal buckle fell to the side. I tugged the metal teeth of his zipper down and revealed the shaft that was throbbing underneath his underwear. He raised his ass just enough to let me lower everything down. His cock was already swollen at this point. It pointed up toward the ceiling. His dick was so hard, twitching in anticipation.
The entire time, I stared right at him. His eyes unblinking, Hunter directed me to what we both wanted without saying a word.
I turned my attention to his cock and lowered my face to it. A quick lick made him twitch again. Another lick and he throbbed. Seeing how much life was in his cock made me grin.
I wasn’t in the mood to laugh though. I wanted more.
I lowered my mouth down on his cock and swallowed it.
“Oh, fuck… Faye…”
He sighed my name. Music to my ears. I lowered myself down on him, letting the spit drip down and coat the rest of his shaft. His cock was slick enough for me to slide up and down with ease.
I moaned on his dick and he groaned in response. My tongue on his shaft. My throat wrapping around his tip. My spit dripping all over him. I wanted Hunter to feel every inch I had to offer.
But before I could go any farther, he suddenly grabbed my head and gently pulled me off of him.
“You’re not wearing any panties,” he said.
“I’m not…”
“Show me.”
I smirked at him as I got up from my seat. I turned around to make sure that nobody was about to walk in on us.
“So what if somebody catches us?” he said.
I jerked my head back to Hunter and saw the intensity in his stare.
Damn…
He could’ve taken me in the middle of the casino on one of the blackjack tables and I wouldn’t have refused. I had him here right in front of me, his dick hard and throbbing. I was powerless to stop myself.
A big grin on my face, my hands tugged at the sides of my dress and pulled it up. I stood with my legs slightly apart so that he could see the smooth mound that was all his. A drop of wetness dripped out of me and leaked down the inside of my thigh. A shiver shot through my spine just from Hunter reaching out and taking it with his index finger.
I watched as Hunter licked his finger, his eyes locked on me.
“What does it taste like?” I asked.
“It tastes like you’re ready. Are you ready, Faye?”
“I’ve been ready. I’ve been ready all day.”
“Show me.”
I slowly lowered myself on top of him. I straddled him completely. The heat from between my legs was so strong. I could feel his cock just inches away from my entrance. A dick so thick that I wondered if it could fit inside of me even though I’d already had it before.
I stared right at him as I lowered myself down. His tip pushed into my folds. My insides started to spread for him. I struggled to keep my eyes open. The pleasure was too much. I shut my eyes tight and a deep gasp escaped from me.
“Fuck…”
“I like it when you talk dirty.”
Hunter teased me. Even when he was fucking me, he couldn’t stop. I laughed and leaned forward, wrapping my arms around his neck and trying to ignore any comments he might’ve made.
“Ride me, Faye… Just like that…”
I slowly started grinding my hips on him. Up and down. Back and forth. I moved in a slow, sensual rhythm, trying to rock myself to the beat of the soft music.
I couldn’t hold back though. Slow grinding started to turn into violent riding. It didn’t help that Hunter was starting to thrust his hips up and into me.
“Oh… Fuck!”
I cried out and immediately put my hand over my mouth. Even though I didn’t care if we got caught, I didn’t want anybody to know.
“Don’t,” Hunt
er said.
He forcefully pulled my hand away from my mouth and kept pounding me.
“Let them hear you,” he grunted. “Let them hear the you that I bring out of you.”
Hunter impaled me on his cock with forceful strokes. I bounced on top of him, biting my lip to try and stop moaning. It was a pointless effort.
“Hunter… Fuck…”
I started banging my hips back into him. The messy sound of our bodies colliding echoed through the VIP room.
It wasn’t enough for Hunter. He reached up and took the straps of my dress down.
“No panties,” he grunted. “No bra either.”
He leaned forward and took one of my breasts into his mouth. I cradled his head in my arms and brought him even closer as he devoured me. All of this while I continued to buck hard against him.
This was it. This was enough to make me forget about everything. Just an intense feeling of sexual energy building in my stomach. His cock splitting my insides and my pussy swallowing him whole.
I rode him as if my life depended on it. My body was covered in sweat. I was having trouble breathing. My legs were sore from riding. But nothing could stop me from desperately trying to get to the end.
“Fuck… Faye… I’m gonna come…”
“Come for me…”
“I’m gonna come inside of you…”
“Fuck… Fuck, yes… Fill me up… Fill me up with your fucking cum… Dammit… Give it to me…”
I don’t know what came over me. Hunter woke up an animal inside of me. My craving for him had to be satisfied.
I leaned back and let him take control. He grabbed my waist and started pounding me.
I dug my nails into the back of his neck and held on helplessly. My heels fell off of my feet. My dress fell down even lower on my body. My face pointed toward the ceiling and my back arched as he fucked me so hard that I couldn’t take it.
“Hunter… Ahh…”
My whole body seized up on me. I stopped breathing for a second and held on for as long as I could before my orgasm crashed into me.
“Ahh-ahhh-ahhh… Fuck… Fuck… Fuck…”
Stuttered, embarrassing expletives spilled out of my mouth as I started to come. Every muscle was so tight that I thought I was going to break. The wonderful energy kept surging through my core. It spread from my stomach and vibrated through the rest of me.
